Vivaldi has stopped respecting theme preference
-
@edwardp Thank you, but despite using 6.5.3206, which should be counted as "6.5 final" which was mentioned on that thread, I don't have that setting at all.
-
@yairmohr That Setting is in the current 6.5 Snapshot.

@DoctorG I understand "snapshots" are Vivaldi's equivalent of developer builds. I can't try it, since I don't want to install it on my system instead of the steady build, and they have no way of running it separately (AppImage or just ".tar.gz" that you can uncompress and run as a "portable app").
-
@yairmohr Yes, it is a tester build, but it can not harm your Vivaldi Stable version as it get a separate configuration folder and installation folder.
But i understand that you only want Stable (final version) on your PC. -

If you want something else and your distro does not repackage, you can use try these at a pinch.
FWIW you can also test snapshot builds by way of the
install-vivaldi.shscript linked from the snapshot posts. This offers a bunch of options:$ install-vivaldi.sh --help Usage: install-vivaldi.sh [OPTIONS(S)] If no options are provided, then the script will install the most recent Vivaldi snapshot for the detected system architecture (x86_64). It will install, system-wide into "/usr/local/share" if possible, otherwise it will default to "~/.local/share". This script handles the fetching of a Vivaldi install file for repackaging but will use a local copy, if it is already present in the working directory. Options: -h, --help (Show this help text and exit) -t, --test (Test run Vivaldi with a clean profile before install. You will be asked if you want to proceed with the install NOTE: Does not work when run as root) -u, --uninstall (Uninstall the previous version) Advanced Options: -a, --architecture [ARCHITECTURE] (Use the supplied architecture instead of the one detected) -d, --directory [DIRECTORY] (Install to the supplied directory. An "absolute" path must be given) -f, --final (Install the latest final instead) --insecure (Do not check package signature) -nl, --no-launch (Do not attempt to automatically Launch Vivaldi after first install) -r, --retrieve (Fetch package but do not install it) -v, --version [VERSION] (Install the user supplied version number, rather than the latest detected in the APT repository)
